I thought this would fold up smaller than it does-- one of the hazards of buying online. Folding it at all is a bit cumbersome because of the way it fastens together. But it is sturdy and adjustable. I am pleased with it.

After I assembled this easel (and the directions are not good for doing this) I discovered that the mast is not high enough for a 5 foot eleven inch person to use while standing. So, if you want to center your painting to your eye, and the painting is over 14 inches high, you have no room on the mast to support the upper stretcher of the painting. I will be returning this and substituting another model.

We purchased four last year for college studio setting. They held up well to being moved around inside and outside for easel setups. So this year we purchased lots more. They do have a height of canvas limitation- will purchase the next level up of the same product next year.

My HS art classroom needed some new easels. after some research I decided to order some of these and they ones are fantastic. We previously had some heavy wooden easels that are nice but tend to be wobbly, cumbersome and a bit expensive. These aluminum easels are a great price, light weight and easily folded. My only minor complaint is that the mast could be a little higher to attache reference photos. Other than that these are perfect.

I loooove these lightweight but sturdy easels. I bought a couple in order to have some extra easels for an oil painting class I teach, and now I want to get one for myself. It is fairly easy to figure out how to assemble the easel, but be forewarned that the instructions included are almost useless. All in all, a very good, relatively inexpensive easel.

I use the product for Painting class and also for displaying artwork. It's light weight and easy to manipulate so I really like that when I'm setting up displays. The one thing that's not so great is the connection at the bottom of the easel - as far as I can tell, it's not adjustable and I really wish it was, so that I could fold up the easel without taking that piece apart. Otherwise it's great!

This is an excellent portable studio easel. It's very sturdy and does not wobble. It's easy to set up, take down, and store away. It's very light and takes a very wide range of canvas or panel sizes. The legs are not adjustable, so I wouldn't use it for plain-air painting, but for places with flat floors, it's a winner. I have several and use them primarily for students but also for my own work.
